Abstract

Captain Brett Hilder first published in 1973 his controversial theory that Torres used Endeavour Strait on his famous and perilous voyage through the intricate waters of the strait that now bears his name. This was the subject of his Macquarie University thesis of 1976, The voyage of Torres along the southern coast of New Guinea in 1606 and he has summarised his findings in a paper published in the September 1977 issue of this Journal. It now seems essential to question the validity of some of his assertions.
